until it was apparent that there Was
no real danger. The lire was caused
BY a piece of rope which hung
in the boiler-room to dry. 1t smoul-

the b oiler castings, which blazed up and
sent through the hatchway "A thick
volume of smoke. AS soon as the fire
was seen tire patrol system which Ia

Almost Fatal Alteration,

Pulaski was greatly excited last
Thursday morning by runners from
Leatherwood creek who came to
summon doctors hastily to see Mr..
F. d. duff Aym EFT, who it was
said had been fatally hurt by Esq.
S. w. Butler, his brother-In-law. 1t
turned out to be not nearly so bad
as reported, though for a day or
two Mr.. Aymett was in a critical
condition. 1t seems that the par
ties met in the road riding horse
back, Mr.. Aymett being accompa-
MED by his wife who Was the only
witness to the unfortunate ARRAY,
and Mr.. Aymett accosted Mr.. But
Ter for reporting that he was broke.
Words multiplied until. some say,
Mr.. Aymett made q motion as if to
| throw his hand behind him, when
Mr.. Butler struck him in the tenn
pie with ar anger handle. The
blow knocked him off of his horse,
turning the saddle, but he immedi-
ately got up and remounted and
they proceeded each his way. He
rode to his brothers house, a half
mile or o,not thinking be was badly
hurt, and there he suddenly fell
from his horse and soon was taken
with commissions, requiring several
men to hold him. 1t accustomed
great alarm to the family, of course
and physicians were summoned.
Esq Butler had returned home in
the meantime and when he heard
how seriously Mr.. Aymett was in
jured he at once set out for towr
and gave himself up, going before
Esq. Jones and giving bond foI
$1,000. His four brothers met hiu

In Memory of IL Friend.

ANDREW j. WHITE, who died Nov.
18th, 1886, at his home on Shoai Creek,
in Giles county, was born June u, lS43.
He was married Jan. 8, 1868, to Miss
Gentry Barnes, daughter of the late
Capt. Jere Barnes. He was quiet, I'M
obtrusive man, yet a true friend to the
distressed and needy, charity being his
prominent characteristic. He died
when manhood should have been in
its vigor, and his taking Off admenishes
the strong and vigorous to be also
ready, and while his death gives keen
est sorrow, his correct lite warrants the
sweet hope that his suffering here ha:
found compensation in an eternity oil
bliss. A good citizen and kind neigh
Dor, he died deplored by all who knew
him, and to his worth andsvirtues

Another Dog Law,

A dog law is pend ng in the leg
islature proposing to exempt one
dog to each family and to tax all
others so cents each, the fund to be
used to pay for sheep killed by
dogs.
We respectfully suggest to the
people OF Giles county that they in
dlcate their wishes to our legisla
tors. Do you favor its passage?
This is fair warning to the people
and ought to estop them from com
planning at the action of our rep
resentatives, whatever they do.
Trey are entitled to your advice
and after this invitation, if you
choose to withhold 1t, you should
not censure them if their vote does
not reflect your wishes.
We had some experience yn this
very point. The people of Giles
petilioned DR.. Harwell TO vote fol
dog law and he did SO and ther
they crucifed him for it. Now he i;
there again and another dog law i:
pen ding. 1t is nothing but fair t
him and TO the other members tina
YOU write them what you thinl
about it and let them reflect you
wishes.
In our opinion there is not mucl
in the matter either way, but Their
will be something made Of it. Thi
notice will operate to estop an.
man from complaining if he fail
to indicate his opinion as here in
vited. Let's give our men a fai
showing.

Another Railroad.
BY A FARMER.

Giles county must have another
railroad. This road must open to
us markets north and south so as to
compete with the line already in
operation. Giles county is paying
to the L. & N. road tax of $780,
900 per annum for the privilege Of
shipping over their line. Colum-
bia and Nashville ship corn, wheat
and other grain through our county
to points south of US four cents per
bushel cheaper than we can. They
ship stock and other farm products
to points both north and south at
rates equally as discriminating.
Now if you will compare the tariff
paid on exports and imports at the
several stations IN our county for
one year with that paid by the
counties north of US for an equal
amount you will find the excess
paid by our county will not be
much short of fifty thousand dol
lars. This excess for five years
would build us a road through the
county. Should wo not stop giving
away this money and build us an
other road with itp
Another road would help us not
only by diminishing tariff rates but
would bring US manufactures, diver
sify pursuits of industry, give us a
home market, keep the surplus cap
ital that is going to Decatur, Biz.
mingham, Nashville and other
points, at home, and bring foreign
capital to US. Another road will
stop the poplar, walnut and other
valuable timber from being shipped
in the rough state and will erect
mills and shops for their conversion
into building material at home
Another road would convert ouI
wheat into flour, our corn into bolt
ed meal, our hogs into bacon. An
other road would infuse energy and
enterprise into every department o.
business, increase the value Of oui
property, help US pay our taxes and
open to us new era of pre- gress
The interest among the farming
classes in this matter is on the in
crease. Let Pulaski with her en-
terprlsing (D business men start
the ball and the farmers will not
be slow to join in and do their part
